JOHN R. MCGIFFERT, OF DULUTH, MINNESOTA, ASSIGNOR TO CLYDE IRON WORKS,OF DULUTH, MINNESOTA, A CORPORATION OF MINNESOTA.

MACHINE FOR LOGGING.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN R. MoGrIFrER'r, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of Duluth, county of St. Louis, and State of Minnesota,have invented a new and useful Improvement in Machines for Logging, ofwhich the following is a specification, the principle of the inventionbeing herein explained and the best mode in which I have contemplatedapplying that principle, so as to distinguish it from other inventions.

The present invention relates to a logging machine adapted to combinethe operations of skidding and loading, these operations havinggenerally heretofore been performed by separate machines. In so far asthe gen eral structural features of the machine are concerned, theyfollow those of the so-called Decker loader which will be founddescribed in U. S. Letters Patent No. 621,043, dated March 14:, 1899.

The object of the present invention, then, is the provision of combinedskidding and loading means for use on a structure of this type, with aview to rendering easier and more expeditious, the handling of logs inthe forest, and the placing of them onto cars for transportation thence.

To the accomplishment of these and related objects, said invention,then, consists of the means hereinafter fully described, andparticularly pointed out in the claims.

The annexed drawings and the following description set forth in detailcertain mechanism embodying the invention, such disclosed meansconstituting, however, but one of various mechanical forms in which theprinciple of the invention may be used.

In said annexed drawings :-F igure 1 is a side elevational View of acombined skidding and loading machine embodying my several improvements;Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof; Fig. 3 is a front elevational view of themachine on a larger scale, and with the upper portions of the boombroken away; Fig. 4 is a side elevation on a larger scale of the upperend of the skidding boom; Fig. 5 is a plan view of the same; and Fig. 6is a partial side elevation and partial section of one of two bracesemployed in connection with said skidding boom.

As has been indicated, in its general lines, the machine of thedrawings, follows those of the Decker loader. It is not meant,

however, by this, to imply that the invention may not be carried upon adifierent construction of frame if desired, such as for instance that ofthe McGiflert loader. Referring, however, to the constructionillustrated, the frame proper of the machine will be seen to comprise adouble decked structure A, supported at either end upon trucks atadapted to run on a railroad track B. The lower deck A of the frame, ishung as close to the ground as possible and carries a section of track aof the same gage as that upon which the machine as a whole is thusrendered movable. Pivotally attached to each end of the deck A aresupplementary track sections a that are adapted to incline downwardlyfrom said deck to such railway track B proper, thus rendering itpossible to pass cars through the machine over such lower deck. Theupper deck A which thus obviously requires to be at an elevation abovethe lower deck, sufficient to permit the movement of cars justdescribed, is supported by posts or columns a forming the sides of theframe. It is upon such upper deck that the loading and skiddingmechanism, providing the subject matter of present interest, is carried.

Referring first of all to the loading mechanism, this will be seen tocomprise a swinging boom C that in a number of features closelyresembles that forming the subject matter of my Patent No. 987,631,dated December 22, 1908. In other words, said boom is of generalA-shape, the lower ends of its respective side members or legs 0 beingmounted upon an oscillating beam C that is pivoted to a casting acentrally secured to a transverse girder a forming a part of the machineframe. The respective ends of said oscillating beam slidably rest uponlongitudina-lly disposed beams a in the upper deck that projectforwardly from said frame a sufficient distance to include the range ofmovement of the beam G Near each extremity of the latter, there isfurther pivot-ally attached by means of a pin a a yoke a of generalU-form that embraces the girder a above and below, and is movablebackward and forward with respect to the same when the beam. is swung oroscillated. On the back side of the girder are secured, intermediate ofthe same and yoke, suitable resilient means a arranged to be compressedupon movement of the beam and thus constituting buifers therefor. Inaddition to such resilient means for limiting the oscillation of thebeam, a cylinder E is provided with a piston e reciprocable therein, andconnected with one of the aforesaid yokes, and thus with the beam, bymeans of which cylinder and piston oscillation of the beam may befurther controlled and, when desired, positively effected as well. Suchcylinder will preferably be connected with the same boiler E from whichpower is derived for operating the several winding drums that will bepresently described.

lVhile the lower ends of the side members 0 of loading boom C arepivotally connected on a transverse axis with the oscillating beam Csaid boom is designed to be maintained substantially in a fixed positionvertically when the machine is set up. To this end it is supported atthe desired angle of inclination with respect to the machine frame A, bymeans of a holding cable 0 that extends rearwardly from its peak to theupper end of the skidding boom D, which for present purposes may beregarded as an inclined mast. The structure of the latter remains to bedescribed, but it will be noted at this point that its upper end islocated not only above but forwardly of the pivotal axis about which thelower end of the loading boom is oscillatory. As a result of thisconstruction, the aXis of oscillation of said loading boom is inclinedfrom the vertical and the boom will accordingly normally manifest atendency to swing toward a central position from either side, under theinfluence of gravity, thus assisting in the operation of loading logsfrom a position laterally of the railroad track onto a car standing uponsaid track.

The loading cable or line 0 which is provided at its outer end (notshown) with log gripping means of usual construction, passes over ablock suspended from the peak of said boom and over a block (Z securedto a cross piece in the skidding boom to a winding drum E located wellforward on the upper deck of the machine, and provided with anindependent engine for operating the same through clutch mechanism asusual. The block (Z thus secured to the cross piece of the skiddingboom, serves as a fair leader or guide for the loading line, so that itwill run true on the loading drum despite the fact that the boom isswung from side to side in the fashion previously described.

The skidding boom D is likewise of general A-shape, although its outerend is not brought sharply to a peak, but is squared, being closed by atransverse member (Z that connects the two side members (Z The latterare adjustable about a transverse pivotal axis, preferably on the sametransverse girder a of the frame, from which the oscillating beam C issupported. To retain said skidding boom in proper position, two holdinglines (Z are provided, extending from the booms respective outer cornersto the corresponding rear corners of the machine frame. A bar 6Z5, orthe like, is interposed between these two holding lines to separate thesame, so as to dispose them without the cab A which is provided toinclose the mechanism mounted on the upper deck.

Inasmuch as there might be a tendency, under the considerable strain ofthe skidding lines, for the skidding boom to tilt backwarly, Ifurthermore brace said boom by two rods D respectively pivotallyattached to the side members of the boom, intermediately of the ends ofthe latter, and to pins a on either side of the upper deck of themachine frame. .The ends (Z of these braces telescope, as indicated inFig. 6, or, in other words, said braces are only effective against arearward movement of the boom, its forward movement being restrained bythe holding cables (Z Accordingly, no strain will be placed on thecenter of the boom, in case such holding cables stretch. Otherwise, itwill be seen that when the boom is pulled toward the front, as itusually is, owing to its weight, such weight added to that of theloading boom and the stress of the skidding and loading lines, would puta greater pull on said braces than they could be convenientlyconstructed to resist.

The skidding blocks (Z are not supported directly from the upper end ofthe skidding boom, but are hung instead from a boxshaped piece D formedin practice of two channels (Z and two plates (Z which piece or memberis flexibly connected to the skidding boom, so as to permit it a certainamount of lateral movement, that is, movement lateral relatively to themachine itself, or longitudinally with respect to the transverse member(Z forming the end of the boom. Such movable member D is secured to theboom by means of two sets of links that are connected to transverse boommember (Z by means of pins each set consisting of a pair of straightlinks (Z one above and one below the movable member, and another set (Zthat is inclined with respect thereto. Said links (Z thus form, ineffect, brackets, when taken in connection with such straight links andthe pivotal pins that connect the same with the boom D and member Drespectively. It should be noted that this arrangement not only permitsthe member D to swing from side to side of the machine, up to the limitof the links just referred to, but also that said member is held awayfrom the skidding boom so as to prevent the skidding blocks from'comingin contact with the latter.

The skidding lines (Z of which two are provided, pass over the blocks dthe latter being suspended by short links cl from said transverselymovable member D Said lines are provided at their outer ends with theusual tongs, while their inner ends are wound upon drums E operated byan engine E said skidding drums and engine being located to the rear ofthe winding drum E for the loading cable. tion to said skidding blocks,two guying blocks F are secured to the same member ID one at each end,and guying lines f are passed thereover and thence outwardly on eitherside of the boom, to suitable fixed points of attachment, such asstumps, trees or like objects. The inner ends of said guying lines arerespectively wound upon guying drums F mounted well forwardly on themachine frame, preferably upon the transverse girder a one 011 each sideof the casting a that supports the oscillatory member C of loading boomC.

By means of the foregoing machine, it will be seen that the operationsof skidding in logs and loading the same onto cars, may be carried onsin'iultaneously, since not only are separate booms provided for thispurpose, but also independent operating means. Of course, either theloading boom or the skidding boom may be used without regard to theother, should occasion for such use arise. Not only are the respectivebooms thus operable simultaneously or independently of each other, asrequired, but by com bining them in one structure, a number ofadvantageous results are secured, to which attention has in part beencalled in the preceding description.

It will be understood that the object in having the outer member of theskidding boom flexibly attached to the end of such boom is to eliminatethe vibration of the machine due to irregularity of tension on theskidding line as logs are being hauled in. In the case of the loadingboom, any such jar or vibration is taken up by the resilient meansattached to the respective ends of the oscillating base of said boom,that operate in conjunction with the fluid pressure cylinder. Thelatter, in addition to subserving this purpose, is of course, used toswing said boom to the one side or the other, as occasion may demand, inorder to grapple a log to either side, and hoist the same onto a carstanding on the track. The movement inwardly, is assisted, if notentirely accomplished, by the tendency of said boom to assume a normalcentral position, owing to the securing of the guy or holding cable forsaid loading boom at a point ahead of the lower pivot of the boom. Itshould also be noted that in the construction of the skidding boom,considered by itself, several features of superior design and operativeeffect are found. Thus the carrying of the skidding blocks from a membermovable rela- In additively to the ends of the boom has recognizedadvantages; but heretofore this has always, so far as I am aware,involved bringing the guying and skidding lines so close as tofrequently cause their entanglement or at least interfere with theirfree operation. In the present construction of boom, however, theskidding blocks are supported forwardly of the end of the boom, and byattaching the guy lines to the boom at points more or less spaced, orapart, from the points of attachment of said blocks all danger of thisinterference is practically obviated.

Other modes of applying the principle of my invention may be employedinstead of the one explained, change being made as regards the mechanismherein disclosed, provided the means stated by any of the followingclaims or the equivalent of such stated means be employed.

I therefore particularly point out and distinctly claim as myinvention 1. In a machine of the character described, a boom oscillatoryabout an axis inclined from the vertical, substantially as described.
